   This is my go-to lunch place but they have got to add servers. They overbooked on St Patrick’s Day and summer interns are coming. Time to hire RR!!

   This was my 2nd visit. Today was even better than the first and that’s hard to believe. This was due to our server Amara who was AMAZING. Attentive, knowledgeable and just fun to be with! She is a great asset to River Roast!! We have enjoyed Octopus around the world, but this was without a doubt the best we have ever had. The Sea-bass Bresaola & charcuterie were also very good!

   The patio on the river was beautiful and while there’s a few tables outside, it feels peaceful and serene. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, attentive and charismatic. The octopus appetizer was so tender and delicious. All of the food was magnificent! Inside the restaurant was bustling with people and lovely decor. We will definitely be returning. I could sit on that patio all day.

   I love the reassurance. I will defiantly be back again. The experience me and my guest had this time was only tarnished because we felt rushed out at the end of dinner purhaps that was my fault for booking a late dinner at 8:15pm. You could tell the stag was ready to go (understandable) but they kept coming back to the table and trying to clean it while we were still eating. So we felt we were in the way and just asked for to go boxes. This was just one bad experience, the many times I’ve come but it certainly through us off a bit.

   I was not impressed. The food is very average and overpriced for what you get. It was also incredibly salty. A salad tasted like salt, a soup was inedible and we sent it back, and the branzino was covered in salt. It may have been someone new the kitchen but the food was just awful. I was embarrassed that I selected this place to rale a client.
